I do remember when the "new 900" came out, they talked about how labor-intensive the old 900 was to make, and how much that was reduced with the newer model. It was substantial, but of course I can't come up with the numbers. Keep in mind, the "old 900" is basically the same car as the 99, which dates back to the late sixties. Lots has changed in manufacturing in that time. Dave Hinz
